So, what do you think of derision (ebonics, etc) based on cultural tendencies (ie, cultural stereotypes) instead of on skin color?

Or are they inseparable? Is this “inseparability” belief, in and of itself, racist?

If I'm following your question here, and I'm not sure I am, do you mean for instance derisive remarks about people from rural southern towns marrying their first cousins, attempting to procreate with farm animals or something like that? If that's what you're asking me, YES, I find derision based on cultural stereotypes to be extremely offensive.
